  • ._. Those smiles...

    Damn fakeys, you scareh 

  • I don't care what colour their hair is, I think they're both great.  However, I live in the woods, so if you want to take them to a forest bring them here. I will untie them, build a big fire and dance around it until I collapse, or they stop playing. I love both of them.

  • I give the women credit,she knows how to......Act.

  • I'm much better than these "girls" come and see me play this weekend at Goyas Clam Steam, off I-75 behind MukLuk Mania in Manitoba. See you there!

  • The music is great, I won't deny it, but it's a shame it's playback... and that thing about their hair colour is kind of irrelevant...

  • Fakest thing i've ever seen.

  • dont worry about whether its fake or the playback just listen to the song its amazing even without the video!!!!

  • PLAYBACK!!!

  • what is the name of this song??

  • a word for this video : AMAZING ! <3

  • I did see Mairead in concert. Last year. Absolutely stunning.

  • love celtic music it;s great xx

  • I would like to know the tune names. The last one is Boys of Malin, anyone know the names of the other two?

  • Enjoyed it. Great performance.

  • No audio

  • No audio

  • why the public are not dancing with a guinness pint?

  • the music is a bit off -.-

  • I don't really mind if it's a recorded version or just a really awkward ending, they put on a fantastic performance, and i'm in awe of Mairead's ability to bounce around on those skinny heels.

  • cool music, but does she have to flick her hair like that? That's just annoying.

  • I don't care about the performers-- this is an exciting, well-composed piece that I love listening to. I'm here for the song, not the ladies.

  • @fable23 Then you'd be happier listening to this

    watch?v=65TrNWpeJ78

    It's the same music, only higher quality recording, stereo, and minus the overdubbed crowd noise.

  • @LouTaylor100 Thank you!

  • @canals22 -_- you need to get laid, seriously. Nearly 99% of singers these days lip-sinc whenever they preform, so the fuck what? You act like these women did horrible things to you personally, your crazy! Yeah I think it sux that this is fake, but it's nothing to get so worked up about. Jeez...

  • @HikaruYamamura You sould see a Motörhead concert...

  • @canals22: You seem to hate women, especially these two... why?... Perhaps you are...

  • @canals22 No need to be so rude about it you know.... People dye their hair, so what. It doesn't mean their music is fake too. Besides, if you don't like watching or listening to them, why the hell are you even here?

  • shes jumping on that trap door at 1:45.. thought for sure that shit was going to break.

  • soooo awsome

  • Alot of respect to these two talented, beautiful women. Not only I do not know how to fiddle but I definately I know I can't jump around in those high heels

  • I used to duel with Celtic Woman on violins... Then I took an arrow to the knee...

  • What's the name of this song ? :)

  • If you notice the girl with the long hair breaks two strings by the end of the performance, Her bow didnt look like that when they started. 

  • @rjzgirl Actually those are horsehairs from the bow itself. Those arent actual strings on the violin broken. Its standard wear and tear for bows. Seen it in orchestras all the time.

  • WHO THE HELL CARES IF IT'S PLAYBACK OR NOT?

    Jeez, it's good music. Even if it is playback, they had to have recorded it before, so it's not like they can't play it. Stop making a big deal out of nothing...

  • @iLUVphelps I'm with you, great entertainment.

  • @iLUVphelps "Even if it is playback, they had to have recorded it before"

    There's only one violin in the audio, so no, it's not true that two violinists recorded this, in perfect unison down to the nanosecond, with impossibly perfect technique. So, not only is it not a live performance, but it's not even a studio performance of two violins "dueling," whatever that means.

  • Now mix that with metal!!

  • LOL... These two (hot) blondes are probably drinking cold beer in a hot jacuzzi enjoying themselves while you people are bitching about whether it WAS a playback or not.. MORE THAN 3 YEARS AGO! Youtubers...

  • honestly i dont care if they are really playing or its just a recording. Thats their music and their playing it regardless if its a recording or live! JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC!!!

  • whats the name of this song?let me know one of you.

  • One thing for the playback argument: Sound equipment lag.

  • Celtic!!

  • The obvious playback ruined it

  • Look at the way the bow strings are coming apart. I don't think this is fake.

  • There my be a little auto-tune in there, but they really are that good. They are right up there, with Charlie Daniels, Mairead, has her own way of holding the bow. She plays a cross btw a fiddle and a violin.

  • @larrypetree The problem is you have no idea what your talking about. See them in a show and then tell me their fake.

  • I would like to point out that the two playing actually are well known for playing the violin and they actually are both wearing mics and those who play the violin are just mad because they are not playing in front of that many people. also it is impossible to saw on a violin like that and not make noises that you would not be able to here in the audience

  • @boomerbambam WOOHOO THANK YOU!!! THER ARE JUST THAT AWESOME and you who think other wise watch any video with their playing dduuurrrrrr

  • I don't know if it's a recording or not, but I love this song. ^^

  • just look at the hair going on the violin strings.

  • thumbs up if u went too this video because of the comment on GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS!

  • psycho face 3:30

  • wouldnt it be awesome if this became a type of porn when they do the exact same thing but nude <3

  • @mfromthemshow Please give these ladies the respect they deserve.

  • if you don't think it is a recording watch the end and compare when they stop and when the music stops cause

    THEY'R BIG FAT PHONIES

  • @beritbe Sometimes the video can be ahead of the music; it's just a technical issue. Why would they even perform if they are fake? That just doesn't make any sense to me.

  • @cookiesncream38 this has nothing to do with audio/video sync. The note starts out on time, and it ends a second too fast, and there was no video cut. There's only one explanation.

  • Comment removed

  • @beritbe lol I think the violins still sound for a second after.Pretty sure.

  • @beritbe What instrument do you play?

  • @beritbe I completely agree. I play the violin, and I can tell you, it's not possible to keep the music so steady if you're jumping around like that.

  • @PrayagRay Lindsey Sterling would beg to differ, she literally jumps around and moonwalks while playing her violin, just because you can't do it..doesn't mean no one can.

  • @DoozyJr I'm just saying it's a little uncanny that the sound doesn't get affected at ALL by all the jumping around. Sure, you can play while moving around, but it's likely that there would be some modulation produced because of it. When you jump and land, the bow pushes harder against the strings, and the sound gets louder. Do you see that happening here?

  • @PrayagRay Ever played an electric violin?

  • @PrayagRay So, americas got talent faked the lindsey sterling tryout?

  • @beritbe audio lag?

  • @beritbe Couldn't care less. I know that atleast Maired Nesbitt is a very skilled violin player.

  • @beritbe Say that to their frayed violin strings.

  • @beritbe

    So what if it is recorded? Its still them playing it. Dumbass.

  • @meyenburg Actually there's only one violin in the audio, and it's credited on the CD to one musician, Maire Breatnach, not to either of the two in this video. So, perhaps you should reasses who's the dumbass here. :-)

  • @beritbe hate to but must add to said staitment ! :(

  • @beritbe Actually, violins and other instruments that are hollow like that, ESPECIALLY the big ones like the cellos, Will continue to make sound for several seconds after you remove the bow from the strings, because it (the sound) is still reverberating in side the instrument. Guitars also do that, to a degree, but it's less noticeable on them for some reason, I haven't figured out why yet.

  • @xRaalx wow finally someone on youtube with an education/knowledge and intelligence to know anything.. especially important things in music :P congratz ur 1 of the few smart people on youtube ;)

  • Comment removed

  • @beritbe Audio lag throughout the entire video... It's not the best recording, I think.

  • @panzerkpf1 Sometimes the audio is behind, sometimes it's ahead, within the same video clip, without any cuts. There's only one explanation, and it's obvious.

  • @beritbe well maybe it's the distance the camera is from the stage. more than a few hundred feet is a big difference in viewing something verses hearing it.

  • @larrypetree Totally agree-More like models on the catwalk

  • sure, the hair on their bow is just coming off because they're wiggling it around in thin air... this here is TALENT not a recording.

  • @larrypetree no way is that true its for real they are playing.

  • at 2:47 the color of the violin is ravishing and absolutely beautiful

  • ahh..donegal fiddles. Im playing that too!X)

  • no manches!!! q gennial!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  • No, its there real deal. The soundtrack is off there is a slight delay.

  • @buckbeak1965 Must of these people are to ignorant to realize that.

  • They ARE wearing a wireless. But the fingering of the left hand does not correspond to what they are playing (the bow too), plus they have a VERY weird way of holding the bow...

  • Comment removed

  • Hoski

    And even if there were no wires, ever heard of wireless connections?

  • Hoski

    Look again there ARE wires. You must be blind? Anyway Enjoy the music, who cares if it playback? The music is beautiful, right?

  • biggest clue that its fake is that theres not wires from violin to the stereo

  • Just wants one to get up and dance...

  • Nesbitt is the best !

  • @TheJames8411 i saw her first =D =D

  • yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh­hoooooooo geter done long live the irish!!!

  • I love to watch them zoning... It's all most a trance.

  • lol

  • thumbs up if u r dancing in your room or at least moving your feeds

  • Music is for listen to, if you wish show is another tings

  • those chicks totally want each other

  • Due grandi artiste !!!! Due gran belle FIGHE

  • unsynched audio with the video, its a bad recording

  • Couldn't give a flying fuck if was "playback" or not. Enjoyed regardless.

  • @flatleythebard THANK YOU!!!! SHEESH PEOPLE

  • Not a play back, if you look, their feet tapping isn't in time with the music either so probably a second out of synch - don't have to be a genius to work that out.

  • @xxxcharlotte06021xxx If you look, you also see that one second the video is a little ahead of the audio, and two seconds later it is a bit behind. The video and audio never coincide for more than a second or so.  So obviously it's not a synch issue, no matter how you set the synch they are not playing what you are hearing. Don't have to be a genius to work that out.

  • i like that green and the blue violin:)

  • note that in the end the music continues and the violins stop! So I think that the ugly is playing upon a burning one deceiving the people watching this! but the girls are pretty anyway!

  • Everyone, before you watch entire video GO TO @3:37 The Are Not Really Playing their violins YOU CAN tell. Hey@janelavisant.

    and @AnnaShirley95 You Are Right!

  • ha i'm a viola/violin major and i could go on for hours about what a terrible experience watching this was. they could have at least taught them to fake a little better my goodness.

  • @thechelseahorse you are a gobshite to say this is no good classical music has got nothing to do with irish hmusic you anti irish crettan

  • @MrMichaelmoriarty101 Honey the music is perfectly fine. It's the fake violin playing. It's really bad.

  • holy crap.....she probably go through bows like a a kid w/ candy...

  • In fact... you can really tell it's a playback at 3:37 because once they lift their bows for the finale, you can still hear the last bits of the violins playing.

    There. Your argument is invalid. :)

  • @janelavisant It's called reverb...

  • @janelavisant Don't want to step on toes, I don't really care whether or not it's a playback. But it should be pointed out that sometimes the audio track on a youtube vid will not be in sync with the actuall video. Just saying, please don't think that I'm trying to star an arguement...

  • @BlazeTheCat5362 The bad match between audio and video has nothing to do with YouTube, since the match is equally bad in the original DVD

  • @LouTaylor100 Oh, OK. I didn't know that this was off of a DVD. Thank-you for letting me know!

    

  • @janelavisant Reverb

  • @janelavisant weather there playing for real or its dubed ive seen miss nesbitt live she can play and in good fashon to who cares enjoy the fucking video

  • @janelavisant i am not saying that this is not a playback because im pretty sure it is.... but your reason is retarded, have you ever played any string instrument?

    The string will still be vibrating and making sound even after the bow stops touching it.That's why they do not take their hands off the fret board at the end, so they can hold the note.

  • @agentsas55 Dude, they're holding on to the fret board because if they let go, the violins would drop to the ground. When you take the bow off the string, the volume drops 90% and you lose all the harmonics.  You guys are hilarious :-)

  • @janelavisant janelavisant3....do you know why the music keeps playing after they lift their bow? its because they arent the only ones playing. if you listen in the background music there is an accordion and a tin whistle playing. once they life their bow, you dont hear the violin sound...you hear the tin whistle!!!!!

  • @usmcboi13 Yes, after they lift their bows you can hear the whistle and the accordion. You can also still hear the violin, it's quite obvious because of the vibrato. Lifting the bows has zero effect on the sound. The only explanation is that they are not playing what we're hearing. @janelavisant is correct.

  • @LouTaylor100 LouTaylor100...thats not vibrato from the fiddle. if you quickly move your finger up and down over the 2nd open hole on he whistle it creates the vibrato...thats what youre hearing at the end. Mrs Nesbitt is way too good of a irish violin player to ever fake what shes doing.

  • @usmcboi13 the vibrato is an octave lower than the whistle is capable of playing. Perhaps you can explain how this is possible. Please keep posting, the logical contortions that you fans go thru to try and explain that awful ending are more entertaining that the video itself :-)

  • @LouTaylor100 Wow. Did your mother touch you in a bad place when you were younger?

  • @TheDodgerific Wow. I didn't know CW fans had such foul mouths, too. Thanks for the education, Dodgie :-)

  • they don't look like theyre dueling...

  • at least Nesbitt is so bloody awsuuuume that she doesn't need a recording in the background ;)

  • Hillary Clinton?

  • my last name is leahy i love these guys

  • they look like two angels

  • fuck everyone who disliked this

  • tiferet

  • nice ..brilliant

    

  • This is real!! they're losing violin hairs! 

  • cant stop watching this

  • I think it is impossible to have a frown or be upset while listening ot this type of music. It truly speaks to the soul of all.

  • How I jump up, then I can't whistle even. And they play on violins and don't lose nor one note. Incredible. They have stuck maybe?

  • @IntoTheMystical This show was created in 1998. If these two had been practicing this piece for two years prior, then they were practicing it for one and a half years before it even existed. Would you mind explaining how they managed that? Is the green Skyinbow also a time travel device?

  • they are not dueling theyr'e playing together.

  • Who really cares? ... Two pretty girls playing some killer fiddle. Honestly, it wants to make one jump and dance a jig

  • I'm still waiting for the leprechaun to arrive!

  • that s playback 100% i m violinist,second the show sucks

  • What is the song name? I love it a lot!

  • If you think dancing while playing violin is impossible, might want to tell Henry Lau and Lindsey Stirling they're breaking the rules. Just sayin'...

  • @janelavisant its possible, but.............uh....to get it to sound good while doing it..THAT'S the tricky part.

  • @janelavisant Dancing and playing violin is easy. Two people dancing while playing in unison so perfectly that they sound exactly like one violin, down to the nanosecond, is impossible. That fact should be obvious, but apparently it's too complex for some folks here.

  • @LouTaylor100 Well it's very obvious it's a playback, I won't argue that. :)

  • @janelavisant it's not a playback.

  • Such whinging and whining from knockers! I would rather watch and listen to playback than read this infernal carping from obvious losers!!!

  • The Milli Vanilli of the violin world. And this has three million views while quality violinists like Peter Lee Johnson and Ed Alleyne Johnson have a fraction of that number. Youtube viewers are dumb.

  • Who cares if its fake? I care. It's false advertising. The audience is led to believe that those two are able to play like that while prancing around all over the stage. In 4 inch heels no less. What a bunch of suckers.

  • one violin is blue and the other one is green.....did anyone else notice that?

  • @fireember33 Me! I love that!

  • @maireadnesbittfan ok....so im not the only one!!! :)

  • Comment removed

  • I would like to point out to the nit-twits trolling on this video that if you look carefully, dear nit-twits, the violins are plugged in so as to amplify the sound through Speakers.

  • Actually, this isn't exactly playback, the place was big, really big, so the sound when it was recorded didn't exactly sound like it was live but it was!

  • I LOVE YOU MAIREAD NESBITT I DONT CARE IF YOU DID PLAYBACK, CUZ YOU ARE WAY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER VIOLIN PLAYER IN THIS WORLD! IN CELTIC WOMAN YOU ARE AMAZING ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥­♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥­♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  • @IntoTheMystical Your ignorance of Adobe Flash is stunning. There is no such thing as a "Flash recording". Flash is a player, not a recorder. It plays any file of any quality. The quality of this audio is standard CD quality as anybody can see by downloading it and checking the properties, which show a stereo 44100 Hz sample rate. You need a new sound card, or a new hearing aid.

  • @IntoTheMystical Thanks ;) That's really nice to read! I think that She's toooooo great to make playback like justin biber or others...

  • @maireadnesbittfan have you even heard of david garret??? he is AMAZING

  • @stikfamaster2 Yes I have, I like him a lot! Rock Symphonies! But Mairead is my Diva of fiddle :D

  • Especially at the beginning you can see that it's playback because of her vibrato is waaaaaaay too fast in the video for the music =D

  • Yea, fake, The giveaway is at the end when they both lift their bows too early and the music is still playing. It's okay if you like rock videos, but the jumping around and fast cuts between cameras makes it impossible to what they're actually playing. It's a show, not a musical performance.

  • Could you make this video watchable on cell phones, please :) ?

  • When I listen to this, I feel like dancing in rounds and claping my hands until my body turns in fire.
